... we were on for many miles last summer on our trip out west. The Lincoln Highway was the first intercontinental highway here in the States. Stopping in at the Smuckers’ place we did a quick look around at all that was for sale and then walked through ...

So here I sit, on my cottage deck admiring beautiful Keuka Lake and trying to get my head around the fact that we will be leaving North America in one week. One week???? How did that happen? As many of you know we packed up and left ...

Got off to a late start due to rain, managed to get on I-90 by noon. Stopped outside Madison, WI and had coffee with Ramutis Raciunas -- he and Victor hadn't seen each other since 1981! Sleeping tonight near St. Paul, MN and catching up on our rest - ...

Today we did the long drive from Sault Sainte Marie to the bottom of the state in Dundee, Michigan, and we are spending our last night on the road where we spent the first night of our trip, at Cabelas. The traffic seems very heavy, but maybe that's just ...

After so much planning and preparation we are finally on our way. We have left both Pennsylvania and Ohio behind and we stopped for the night at the Cabelas store in Michigan. It's not really camping but it is free and we just needed a place to stop for ...

We parked "Moby" here overnight, got breakfast and then made our way into Cabela's for a few hours. We absolutely needed fishing gear and a metal detector to find treasure! This place is amazing so if you're ever in the area... Anyway, we finally ...

Just a short note today! Bob and I are celebrating the gratitude that we have for each other, for family (biological and chosen!), for faith, for friends, and for health. We have so very much to be thankful for that our hearts are ...

Joleens' friend Rob Jackson owns The Sports Page Bar and Grill in Tigard, Oregon. He has a funky old purple cadillac limosine (The Bootymobile) which he rents out to people. Joleen took advantage of the offer and we toured wineries with a ...

Tomorrow is travel day. We leave Dundee, Ohio and head towards Petersburg, Michigan. Our stay here has been more restful and laid back than our previous stops. I am so glad Mike chose this particular area. The land, with its ...

Ahhh...Midwestern weather! We are deep in the middle of a typical Midwestern winter...40 degrees and bright sun one day and single digit temperatures, grey, and gloomy the very next day. And THIS, my friends, is why we moved to Maui! I ...

... ; All of that aside we, we arrived safely at our destination, Evergreen Park an RV Resort in Dundee, Ohio. It's a bit off the beaten path, a good 25 - 30 miles from the highway, through farm land on bumpy, ...

... I was released to come home. We literally went right from the hospital bed to the car for a five hour car ride back to Dundee. After the second rest stop and navigating from the car to the restroom using a walker, I was unable to cope with the ...

Yesterday was a bright beautiful, sunny day. A great day to celebrate our Nation's Birthday. We wanted to see the countryside, so we left early and headed out to The Farm at Walnut Creek, a local working Amish farm open to the public. ...

... with rooms for tropicals, cacti, and temperate plants, and a bonsai display garden. WOW! It has everything!

Our guide for the day, Chris, picked us up and off we went to explore some lesser known wineries. We started at Vidon Vineyards, owned by Don Hagge. Don had a very long career (including NASA) and then came here to make wine as his second ...

Started the day with a great breakfast at the Clarion near the Portland airport. Since we were all up and ready, we headed out in the "Armada". There was a little feel of the Provence experience with the luggage, but we fit better this time ...

Phase One, called "Zander's Birth" is now over and Zander, his mom, and his dad are now figuring life out on their own! Funny...I spent a solid week working on getting Z to sleep in his crib and when I left, mission accomplished! Now, ...

One of our favorite restaurants from our entire trip was ...

Off today with Jeff to find four more small wineries. Each winery was really unique. We started with Harper Voight with a passionate but very different winemaker (assistant). We learned in California years ago, swirl, sniff and chew. ...

Yay Illinois! I'm in Dundee, just outside Chicago. [info]project_mayhem_ and I just did a tour of a few of the local bars. Not the most exciting scene I've ever experienced, but there was beer and conversation, so I'm pretty much covered. We're now set up ...

Today we drove from tillamook to Dundee - part of willamette valley wine district. As normal we took a slightly unusual route - mainly as we know we'll be coming down the road again and by doing it now it means we don't mind going it at night next time ...

We decided to try and do something today that Francesca might enjoy rather than lots of wineries so we headed too Silver Lake State Park just south of Silverton - home to 10 waterfalls. Naturally they are best viewed in the spring when the flow is ...

Today was a day to hit the wineries (well for Julie - not for me as the designated driver!). We headed down south a little to Cristom and then the Witness Tree (named after the large Oak Tree that overshadows their plot). Both producing some lovely ...

The sun even shines in Illinois! We've had two gorgeous days of sunshine, warm temperatures, and leaves that are beginning to turn colors. If it could only stay like this all the time...ha! Bob and I spent all day yesterday going from ...

Headed this morning to Rex Hill Vineyards. We started outside with a small tour with Jonathan. He was really informative and really funny. We have heard a lot this week about making the vines struggle and work hard for the nutrients. ...
